Falling Backwards

Like water wears away a stone,

time gently erodes memories

And when love's been replaced

by a bitter aftertaste

It's hard to recall

just what started it all

But

I remembered what I thought I'd forgotten

when I saw you again today

I resisted and I can be stubborn

but my resistance just crumbled away

and now I'm falling backwards

into your arms again

Days turned to years and went by

and my tears eventually dried

but the salt that remained

made me thirsty again

Well, nobody's all bad

and I couldn't stay mad

When I remembered what I thought I'd forgotten

when I saw you again today

I resisted and I can be stubborn

but my resistance just crumbled away

and now I'm falling backwards

into your arms again

Oh, sweetness, it's madness

to start this all again

But when we kiss

I'll gladly let them come and certify me insane, oh

I remembered that heatwave summer

We were practically kids

You persisted and I surrendered

and we were glad when I finally did

And now I'm falling backwards

into your arms again

Falling backwards,

falling backwards,

falling backwards,

into your arms again
